Manufacturer Description
Rebel spies have learned that the evil Empire has built a secret droid factory somewhere on the planet Tatooine, where Imperial engineers are building an army of assassin droids. Unless they can be stopped, these dangerous machines will terrorize the galaxy. As a member of the Rebel Alliance, your mission is to build droids to infiltrate this operation and reprogram the assassin droids.

Beware! There are over 25 million droid combinations. You must choose wisely. Star Wars DroidWorks is a unique combination of construction set and adventure game that enables you to learn and apply scientific principles. Deep within the Jawa Droid Workshop on Tatooine, you must design and build droids with unique attributes to complete a series of missions. Immediately deploy your customized droids and explore texture-rich 3-D environments that are embedded with scientific puzzles to solve. Each mission completed brings a higher ranking and moves you one step closer to the Empire's assassin droid factory.

DESIGN:
Proceed with caution, Rebel Spy.
Enter the droid workshop and construct your droid using the 3d-holographic design grid.
Choose from 87 Unique Parts to build over 25 million possible droids.
You can even paint them to your own specifications.

OUTSMART:
Now comes the moment of truth, as you dispatch your droids on missions through 3-D environments rich with challenge and rife with peril.
The Mission Report recaps your goals, your droid requirements and your reward.

From Children's Software Revue®
It's about time somebody took the latest, coolest videogame technology and made it into something that children can learn from. You start in the Droid Workshop, where you combine up to 88 robotic parts, each with unique characteristics. For example, you can make your droid very strong and heavy, but there's a tradeoff- it will need more batteries. Once you've made your droid, you can take it for a test drive on one of 13 different missions. For example, in Fire When Ready, kids must adjust a giant catapult while accounting for mass and trajectory to hurl their droid across a vast canyon. If the droid is too heavy, it's back to the workshop for some lighter parts. This is no easy mission. It can take up to an hour of playing with batteries, weights and explorations before you experience any degree of success. The scope of this initial challenge frustrated some testers. We agree that there should be an easier early puzzle, or at least a better hint system for when the going gets tough. Parents, be prepared to do some coaching. They certainly didn't cut any corners in the art department when they designed this program.

The rich 3D graphics and fully orchestrated musical scores capture the appeal of the Star Wars movie. The compelling graphics, like those in videogames, are based on LucasArts' Jedi Knight animation engine- the kind used in those amazing flight simulations.

Watch out though, as you'll need no less than 81 MB of hard disk space. We were able to make the program run just fine on a two-year-old Pentium 200 with 32 MB of RAM. It ran even better on a first generation iMac.
